I see SWF is selling an Octopus, just curious how difficult they are to care for? I know they are very SMART and can cause a lot of trouble, like the one at the aquarium that would sneak tank to tank at night and eat everything How tolerant are they in regards to water parameters? Is there any...

I have a 110g X-Hi (48L x 18W x 30H) and I was curious what the max Koralia Magnum I could install? Currenly I have a "4" and it just is not enough flow. This will be my main 'circulation' pump. The Mag 5 is not much higher than the '4' so that one is out, the 6 is just shy double of 4, which...

Does anyone have any experience with Seachem Matrix or De*nitrate media? I was curious if it works at all to help reduce nitrate levels? I have an Eheim Wet/Dry canister filter with 3 media baskets. My plan is to leave one with the Eheim media, one filled with the Matrix media, and the last...

No Red Sea fans out there?

Just between these 2 (i know there are others out there) which is better: 1) Red Sea Coral Pro Salt 2) Oceanic Salt I have been using the Oceanic but thinking I might want to switch to the Red Sea, any thoughts? Will be used with my RO/DI system. Thanks!

anyone?

My fixture came with 10k bulbs and after a few months they are just too 'white' for me. I would like to jump to the 14k's and I was curious if there was a brand that was better than the rest? Thank you

Tank (110g x-hi) has been set up just shy of a year, 75-100 lbs of LR in the tank. Not exactly sure (should have weighed it) bought it from someone who was breaking down their 400+ gallon system. Phosphates are 0, all tests that I do are done with the Salifert test kits. The water in the tank &...

I have some issues with Nitrate, around 10 or so and I am trying to get rid of an algae problem that I have. My question, can I run some nitrate reducing media in my wet/dry canister filter? How well does the nitrate removing media work? (To answer some questions that may come up, I am not...

yyyyeeeessss

I can finds TONS of images of the pump itself, but I am looking for 'real' pics of one installed in a tank so I can get some idea of its true size. Thanks!

Anyone? Maybe one in a tank? Throw me a freakin' bone here!

Oh, forgot to mention I have a shipment of fish due to arrive TOMORROW! Got to love Murphy and his laws

I purchased a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone a few months ago and everything has been fine until about a week ago. It moved to a different location in the tank, then tonight I came out of another room and noticed my water was cloudy, which it NEVER has been. Long story short, a couple hours later I...

Very nice! Looks like the fish are having a lot of fun too. Now you can catch the cat eating your fish!

I am looking for people who might have a Koralia Magnum series in their system, and who have pics they can share. I would like to see how big they really are (i know they are all the same size in that series). I have hunted the net for a while and can not find any good pics. I would LOVE a side...

I would be replacing the 4 with one of the magnums. I saw the specs showing they are all the same size so I figured it was just a matter of flow. It is interesting because the measurements do not seem that much larger than the 4, but people seem to say there is a huge difference. I was wondering...
